Hi Dad, Just stopping by to wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New year.

I went to Mah's for Christmas dinner with Azriel, David and Sydnee and Marie went this year, it was nice.

I did Christmas gifts with Azriel different this year, usually I bring everything over Ashley's and we open everything over her house, then I need to bring all Azriel's things back home, including all of what I brought of his over to her house, so anything for him, from me, I left under our tree this year, and we got up an hour earlier and was able to have a Christmas at home, as well as at Ashley's. Azriel liked it this way he said, and I did too. so well do it this way for now on.

It's been really cold the last week, below zero all week. today its 2 degrees.. its a heat wave.. LOL.. we got so much snow Christmas day.

All is well here. Cold but were all ok..That's it for now, I'll be back later.

I love and miss you forever and a day.

Hi Dad,I know I'm late, but Happy belated Thanksgiving. I had a nice day, I went to Mah's for our traditional dinner with Azriel, I brought Adonis this year. Angel was at his other grandmothers, so it was just us 4. Ashley went up to Jon's for the week, so I had the kids. Hope you enjoyed all the heavenly Thanksgiving smells that floated up your way.

Azriel had his teacher conference, he made out very well, she said he's her star pupil. That's always nice to hear. he has come a long way. He reads a story to me every night, and is doing well with it.

Not much happening here, it's getting cold here, not happy about that. so far, we have been lucky with the white stuff I don't want to say what it is, it may jinx it.

Well Dad, I'm going to make this short, Azriel and I are watching Rudolf, the first Christmas special of the season for us. I'll be back soon.

Hi Dad,Just checking in. Not much going on around here. Halloween was a few days ago. the kids had fun. Angel, Azriel, Adonis, Cayden, Keegan, and Gracie, walked around the block with Me, Ashley, David, Raeleen, Hans, Mariah, Daniel, Sydnee and a friend of Sydnee's, it was a nice night. I'll leave you the picture.

Weather had been nice for October and November so far, thank you for that, keep that snow button locked up behind the lock box, we don't want any of that white stuff except on Christmas day.

I'm going to New Hampshire Sunday with David, Mah and Marie, going to the cemetery, finally got the cemetery to agree to let us to hang a plaque for Great Grampy Pelletier acknowledging him, where they don't know where he's buried there anymore. I know it's not locating his grave IN the cemetery, but at lease its saying he's there. I wrote a poem and it's on the plaque, and signed with all our names. I'll continue looking for his burial site despite the plaque being hung. I want to know where he is, just like we found his wife, Great Grammy in there. I wish it was as easy as saying there buried together, but him dying 20 years earlier makes the chances very unlikely as she's so far from the front of where the old graves are.

Angel and Azriel are going there 3rd session of swim class. Adonis started them last session too so this is his 2nd session. They started that last night. There doing well in that, and love it.

Mah is doing ok, misses you as always. She just re-did the floors. They came out good. We all went over after trick or treating the other day, so she had a house full.

Well Dad, I'm going to go, I need to go to the grocery store, Azriel asked if we can have Italians for Supper tonight so I need to pick up the fixings for them.

I love and miss you forever and a day

Hi Dad,Thought Id drop you a note to say hi and give the updates. The kids have 2 weeks left of camp. I cant believe its gone that fast already, doesn't feel like its already been 5 weeks. They have loved it.

Happy belated 4th, Me, ANgel, Azriel, David, Sydnee. Raeleen, Cayden, Keegan, and Hans went to spend it with Mah. we watched the fireworks from the road, as we usually do. you had the best seat of all again. they were very pretty.

Today's wicked hot, its 84 but very humid. I'm going to go hibernate in the bedroom where the AC is.

David and I got Mah to go feed the ducks the other day (little bit of guilt goes a long way.. LOL) I think she enjoyed it, I know I really did. there was a... darn, I cant remember the name of it, I want to say crane but I know that's not it, anyway, it looked like a crane, it was beautiful, all white, and it stayed in the water where we were, almost like it know Mah was watching it. there were the ducks, and turtles, so they all came out for a show for her. believe it or no this is on Stevens avenue.

well Dad, the kids just ran in from upstairs and there acting like animals, LOL so I've got to go for now,

I love and miss you forever and a day

Hi DadIts been a little bit since I've been here and I'm sorry about that. I know you've been watching everything that's been gone on, I've felt you around and seen little signs of you around me.

Not a lot going on. Azriel and Angel are all done school for the summer. They started summer camp for the next 7 weeks on Monday, they like it so far. I bring them in the AM, and pick them up in the afternoon. They also started swim lessons last Thursday. remember, Azriel wants to swim in the Olympics, so he says he started training for the Olympics. he's funny

Adonis is going to go into pre-k in September, that will make all the grand babies in school. makes me feel so old.

As you know. Azriel, Adonis and I laid out a blanket on fathers day with you and had a picnic, its funny, Azriel swears he sen the potato chip move he put down near your stone for you.

We came up to spend some time with you on your birthday on the 24th, but Adonis doesn't understand that when I say going to Grampies, that its not the same as going to see Grammy. I cant even begin to explain to him at 3 years old, that your there but not.

Mah and Marie went out to visit on your birthday too. and David had been there, I seen the new card he had left for you.

I went over to spend the day with Mah today after the kids got dropped off at camp, it was a really nice visit, but then again, it always is.the sky was so blue today and the cloud so white that the white clouds hurt my eyes.

well Dad, not much has been going on here, kinda booring.. LOL. I'll keep ya updated as stuff happens.

I love and miss you forever and a day.

Hi Dad. Sorry for the long delay in stopping by, but nothing really to report. Today is April 1st (April fools day), and I really don't think a snow storm today was any sort of April fools joke, especially when the snow was melting so nicely from the last storm you guys dropped on us.. now please be so kind as to let the sun shine bright and hot so it will melt this nonsence..

As you may know by now, Bobby B died the 21st of March. Very unexpected, he went into the hospital a few days before, the day he died, he was doing better and the Dr's were moving him into another room, but some how he took a turn for the worse. he as only 68.

Aunt Bev also died the other day, March 27th.

Everyone seems to be doing well here. I went to a teachers conference for Azriel. he's doing really well in school. Adonis is signed up for Pre K, to start in September this year.

Not a lot happening, so not a lot to report.

I love and miss you Dad forever and a day

Hi Dad,Just stopping by to ask a favor of you. Someone must have been playing a joke and jammed the snow storm lever, because we have gotten nailed with snow, and its still coming down. We have gotten so far since yesterday about 15", and that's not including the storm from last week. We were down to ground, we could walk around with no jacket on, it was nice, we had 50 degree weather the other day. now were up to our butts in snow. Can you try to find the snow lever and un jam it for me, so we can stop the snow? My car looks like its been swallowed up by the storm.

Leighsa Theriault

February 8, 2017

Hi Dad,Just wanted to stop by and say Hi. Its been snowing out today, its pretty but I would rather you keep it up there. I have to admit, we have had a decent winter this year so far. I can handle these kind of winters. not a lot of snow.

So I turned 51 as you know 2 days ago.. UUGGG. I don't like the number but thank goodness I don't feel it, but then again, I've never been 51, so I don't know what 51 is saposto feel like. Ashley made me a carrot cake which was my order. love my carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

So on Thursday I took a "trip" got some bruises but it could have been worse, I'm assuming It wasn't as bad as It could have been because you helped me. Thank you.. but next time, can you move a bit faster so I avoid the fall period. LOL. just kidding Dad.. Anyway, I went to rush into the laundry room to fix the washer because it was unbalanced, and didn't know Azriel put his jacket on the floor instead of hanging it up, and it hooked my feet, he also left his Pogo stick on the floor, so when I fell, my knee landed on the pogo stick, my hip landed on the floor and smacked my head so hard of a 2 1/2 Gallon mason jar drinking container that I broke the bottom out of it, it is was sitting flat on the floor as I wants using it, so my head hit the top of it. didn't split my head open surprisingly, but it still hurts. the swelling has gone down but Mah wants me to get it checked because its still hurts to the touch, even to wash my hair. my hip has a good size bruise. but on the high side, my knee is healing, and the bruise is going away, and as long as I don't touch my head, THAT doesn't hurt. :)

I don't know if you have seen him yet or not, but WWE wrestler Jimmy Superfly Snuka died a few weeks ago. we've lost a lot of wrestlers/mangers over the last 24 months. hope heaven has a big wrestling ring, because I always liked us watching wrestling together on Saturdays growing up.

Everyone seems to be doing ok. Mah is doing well. she misses you as always.

That's it for now Dad. just a few updates.. I love and miss you forever and a day.

Leighsa Theriault

January 1, 2017

Hi Dad,Its New Years Eve, 11:27 PM. thought I would have you ring in the new year with me this year. I'll send this at midnight at the same time I hit call to call Mah.

So to start the update.. First. Happy Thanksgiving late. A few days after thanksgiving I ended up in the ER with sever stomach pains. they found my intestines had twisted and caused a blockage and in another spot, they looped. I don't know what happened to cause it but it hurt like crazy. They ended up doing surgery, I was in the hospital a total of 10 days. Teri stayed at my house to take care of Azriel. The day I got out I stopped at the house to see Mah. she came top the hospital to see me but I needed to see my Mah. Teri stayed another week at my house once I got home, and she went home and David continued taking Azriel to the bus stop. finally the 23rd I went to the Dr's and they released me and I can now drive again and walk Azriel to the bus stop again. so Once vacation is over I will start that again. its been a long month.

Merry Christmas Dad.. My Christmas tree this year is the most beautiful tree ever, its the 1950's aluminum Pom Pom Christmas Tree. 7' tall, decorated in red and gold only, very simply decorated. I don't have the color wheel, so I am using kind of like a disco light and it makes it look beautiful, IM sure it sparkles all the way up to you. I lay on the couch with the lights off and just watch it. This is the first tree since you've been gone that I've really enjoyed looking at. I put a picture of it on my facebook, and everyone commented how pretty it was, One person said it was beyond beautiful. I have to agree with her.

I was sick this year with some sort of a cold that wont go away so I couldn't go to eat Christmas Dinner with Mah. That really bothered me. Teri, Mike and David went over this year. its 7 days later and I', still sick and cant seem to kick it. before my intestinal issue I had phenomena, IO hope it doesn't turn into that again.

I went over to Ashley's for the tree with the kids and ended up eating with her and the boys.

I went to bring you a few large candy canes to put with your stone the other day, Mah has your wreath decorated and put out. this is 6 Christmas without you.

Well Dad, I'm going to close for now, I want to make sure this is able to be sent at midnight.

Happy New Year Dad. I love you forever and a day.

November 10, 2016

Hi Dad,Sorry its been a while since Ive been here, really nothing happening new.

Happy belated Halloween. I walked around the block with Ashley and the boys this year, then brought Azriel and Angel over to see Mah. Halloween isnt like it use to be though. Not many people out anymore. I forsee trick or treating being done within the next 5 years.

The weathers getting colder, seems like we lost our summer really fast. I have to walk Azriel to the bus stop this year instead of bringing him to school so I notice the cold more this year then last, and its not even snowing yet...

So, we had the election this year, and Donald Trump won the presidency. Hillary clinton was running against him.

This weekend Me, Azriel, David, Teri and Mike are going to NH so we can show Teri where great Grammy Pelletier is buried. We still cant find the exact spot in the cemetery for great Grampy Pelletier yet. We're going to show her the Shoe Shop and the textile mill and the bridge they walked to get to work and the street and lot that they own the house on. I think she's going to really enjoy it.

I brought my grandkids over to show them the house that Grammy and Grampy (your parents) owned in Portland and noticed that it's for sale. So I went home and looked it up online and was able to view some of the photos of the inside of it. Unfortunately it was under contract so I could not set up a showing like I wanted to do, I wanted to set one up so I can go inside and see the whole thing in person again for myself, just to look around again. It has been a very long time since I've been in that house. I did save the pictures of the house that I found on the realtors site and when my cold is gone I'm going to show them to Mah and see if she thinks the inside looks the same to her because it's been that long since I was in the house I don't remwmber what it looked like back then.

Well Dad, im going to go for now. I'll be back soon.

I love and miss you forever and a day.

Dad,

I can't believe it been 6 years since you've been gone.

Some days it feels so new, as if you just left, then there's those day it feels like you've been gone forever.

I love and miss you Dad, Forever and a day.

The moment that you diedmy heart was torn in two,one side filled with heartachethe other died with you.

I often lie awake at night,when the world is fast asleep, andtake a walk down memory lane,with tears upon my cheek.

Remembering you is easy,I do it everyday,but missing you is heartachethat never does away.

I hold you tightly within my heartand there you will remain.Until the joyous day arrives,that we will meet again. ~Unknown~

Hi Dad.Happy 4th of July. That was some pretty fireworks last night. The grand finale was just beautiful. I went to see Mah and watch the fireworks with her. we could see them perfect from in front of the house, as always. I video taped some and took pictures of some. I seen your star last night right over the house. I snapped a picture of the house and your star and that came out really nice, even in the picture you can see your star clear as day. You had a great view.

I've had Adonis with me for 4 days Ashley and the other 2 both went to Jon's house. He's been a really good boy. he'll be 3 years old next month, he's getting so big. Angel and Azriel have both caught a fish and been swimming. They seemed to have been having a good time, I miss him though. I'll be happy when he comes home.

David put in a new window in my kitchen on Saturday, and on Sunday and Monday he put in a new set of steps from my kitchen. looks really nice, he did a great job, 8 years with a crank out kitchen window, that cranked out the wrong direction, now I have a real window, and finally have a breeze that can come through..LOL

That's all for updates for now.

I love and miss you forever and a day Dad.

Hi Dad.Sorry for the delay in getting here, but my phone would not allow me to add a picture with my message, only a lit candle, and I couldn't leave a message for you without a birthday cake, and now my PC is working AGAIN, here's your birthday cake. Happy 92nd birthday Dad. .. June 24th...I would love to be with you to celebrate it, but someday I will be.

I went out to the cemetery to bring you a metal flower, Azriel put it where he wanted it to go, so its next to the ladybug.

Not much going on here, Azriel and Angel are done school for the year, they have done well, Angel goes into 3rd grade in the fall, and Azriel will be in kindergarten, he officially graduated from Pre-K. he was so excited, he got a diploma. Ashton will be going into 6th grade. I cant belie. how old there getting, I don't feel any older then I had from many many years ago, so it just doesn't seem possibly that there aging like they are if I don't feel older, now looking older, that's another story. lol

Well that's it for now Dad.

I love and miss you forever and a day.

Hi Dad,I wanted to share something special with you, although I know you were there to see, I had Angel, Azriel and Adonis Baptized on Saturday. I've wanted them done for some long and Ashley gave me the okay to have them done. They were very good and looked so handsome. I had father Regan do the Baptism, I know how you and Mah feel about him. They are relocating him by the way. its sad. I really wish they weren't, for all involved.

We had snow about a week ago. I figured someone up there must have leaned against the snow button because we don't get snow in April, would you tell them all to be a bit more careful, and maybe lean more on the sun button, and stay off the rain one also, seems they've been playing with that one lately too.

I brought Angel and Azriel out to see you the other day and I parked the car, stood by the car and let Azriel walk to see where you were, he walked straight to you. That made me very happy, he knew right where you were without me having to show him. Him and Angel picked all those Dandelions that surrounded your stone. They hoped you liked them, they were very proud of how it looked.

well, That's it for now, I'll be back soon.

I love and miss you forever and a day Dad

Hi Dad.Sorry for the delay in coming here on your 67th wedding anniversary, I know I'm 5 days late, but my computer has been so messed up, it wouldn't let me open any web pages, so I've been unable to use it, HP just fixed it last night for me. Anyway.. I went to spend time with Mah Saturday, we had a good day. Marie brought her to the cemetery earlier before I got there.

Monday I went over and Mah and I made bread together. I bought a kitchen aid mixer and I wanted to use it the first time with Mah, so we made Bread, trying to find a recipe, as close to Grammies as possible that Mah had growing up. It was very good I want to try to try to make a garlic loaf close to what you and Mah use to eat in the mornings. she has me hooked on that stuff.

Not a lot going on here. We've had a really nice winter, if that even makes any sense, not a lot of snow, and its been gone for a few weeks already. yesterday it was in the 60's, hard to believe for Maine..

I'll be back soon Dad, now that I mentioned that garlic toast, my belly is growling so I'm going to go make some with sharp cheese on it.

I love and miss you forever and day.

Hi Dad.Just wanted to stop by and say..... well. it came, no matter what I did to stop it, it came and did added another one anyway. my birthday came on the 5th and it turned me 50. I tried to stop it but it did it anyway. so now your baby girl is 50. it sounds so odd, feels like I'm talking about someone else. I honestly done feel mentally or physically like I'm out of my 30's so I guess I just cant get a grasp on it.

I had this floral birthday cake delivered to Mah on my birthday, and as the card said to her, it also is for you..Happy 50th Birthday to Me, Thanks to Mah and you. I love you.....

I just wanted to send that to you for my birthday Dad, to make sure you and Mah both got it.

I love and miss you Forever and a day.

Happy New Year Dad.

So another year down. 2015 had it's good and bad points, glad its gone, but hate to see it go, if that makes any sense. just don'tlook forward to another year, makes me another year older. speaking of another year older, Angel turns 8 years old today.

hope you got to enjoy the fireworks from the New Year celebrations last night, I bet they were beautiful.

We got some snow the other day, not a lot, but enough for the plow to come. its starting to melt now, we've had some sun today. saposto be in the 30's this week.

My birds laid 3 eggs on Christmas, and one more a few days later. not sure if there going to be fertile or not, shes not laying on them like I think shes saposto be doing, but I think she knows what shes doing, more then I know what she should be doing. I'll keep you posted.

That's it for now, I will be back soon. I'm going to go call Mah.

I love and miss you forever and a day..

Merry Christmas Dad....

I had Christmas with Ashley and the boys and Azriel and I went to have dinner with Mah and Marie. Melissa and the kids came while I was there.

I decorated the big tree this year, its the first time since you've been gone that its been up, I've used small ones, but the kids are getting older, and felt I had to for them, although I am not into it myself. the kids all decorated it, they did a great job, I must admit, it looks pretty. I added your ornament on the front, as always, the very first one to be put on.

its been so nice out, we had a beautiful christmas day, no snow, weather in the 50's. I was on the deck with my telescope Christmas eve looking a the moon. I cant believe how nice its been, guess its making up for the bad winter last year. I wouldn't mind all winters like this.. the weather for the next 15 days is calling for high 30's, no snow. gotta love it.

Anyway, that's it for now. I'll be back soon.

I love and miss you forever and a day Dad.

Hi Dad,I was trying to send a message to you last night, but for some reason I could not get my PC to respond to the web site. so I am now late. I'm sorry.

Happy Thanksgiving.. I hope all the wonderful smells of Thanksgiving dinners cooking went straight to you all.

Azriel and I went to have dinner with Mah. It was very nice, Azriel even said Grace. well, he actually said his night time prayers, but for a 4 year old, it was very nice. Then we watched the dog show on tv. It was a nice time.

On the 6th of this month, your star name got launched up into space again, it was beautiful. I could watch the short video they put together from the camera that was on board, we could see it take off down toward the ground, watched as it broke away from the vesicle, and watched as it launched into space. It was beautiful. I put it on a SD card, so I could put it on Mah's computer. I put it on hers yesterday. Mah was able to watch it yesterday and she loved it as well.

Azriel is doing well in pre-K, he still loves is. He's able to put his whole name on paper. we write it down, and he copies the letters onto a other piece of paper.... Azriel Henry Theriault.. he does well, that's a lot of letters. He made Mah a Thanksgiving card yesterday with his name on one side, and to Grammy on the other. I hope he still loves school in few years.

The other kids are doing good, Adonis is getting big. he's 2 and he's up to his 7 year old brothers shoulder already.. he's going to be a big boy.

I'd like to talk a minute about the snow issue for this year that we can not avoid... I know last year there were a lot of games played up there with that snow lever being turned on and left on by who ever...I'm not going to point fingers..... but I'd appreciate it this year if you'd pass the message on about making it a mild winter and as little snow as possible.. Last years winter was bad enough to last us many years,, seeing we hadn't seen one like that in many many years. I just wanted to put that out there before we started to get any..

well, that's it for now Dad... I'll be back again... I love you and miss you forever and a day..

Hi Dad,We had some crazy weather the last few days. we had flooding in Portland, they closed Forest Ave down because cars couldn't get through it was that bad. Today's been clear of rain, just chilly and feels damp. Summer is definitely gone, the leaves are starting to turn color. Fall is my favorite season, just because of the colors.

Azriel started Pre-K and he loves it. He has made a bunch of friends at school and the teachers say what a sweet boy he is. I drive him in the AM and pick him up in the afternoon, so its half day, but I though it would be good for him, so I signed him up for it.

Well, that's if for now, I'm going to go start making supper now, but wanted to stop in to update you and tell you that, I love and miss you forever and a day.

Hi Dad,Just stopping by to say I miss you so very much.

You have been very buisy watching over us especially over the last month. With Mah being so sick like she was, you stuck to her and pulled her through when we didnt know if she would, you were strong for her when she was sick. Thank you for that and always watching out for her.

I know you were with Ashley the other day, you know what I'm refering to, you set her down as easily as possible when it could have ended with a broken neck and not just a compound fracture. Not that the fracture is not a bad injury but without you and God it could have been alot worse.

I can't believe this is August 1st already. July was over in the blink of an eye, but then again with all thats happened in July, maybe its better off that way. I love and miss you forever and a day.

HAPPY 91st BIRTHDAY DAD.

Today you would have been 91 years old. That sounds so unrealistic, MY dad, would have been 91 years old today. I still feel like you and Mah should only be in your 50's, but instead I'm heading into them soon. I sometimes sit here and just shake my head, and wonder where did the time go.

Mah and Marie went to see you today, Mah brought you a really pretty rose. David and I came out this evening and I brought you 2 lady bug decorations and a lighted Dragon fly. we went and cleaned up around uncle Guys stone, Uncle T-Joe doesn't have a stone yet, but we straightened his flowers up, and around Uncle Johnny & Aunt Margie, and Aunt Piefis & Uncle Al's, and Grammy and Grampys also. We left had a few errands to run and got back on Forest ave, and decided to go back as it had gotten dark, and I wanted to make sure your dragon fly had lit up. So we went back to see, and yes, it lit up so pretty. We stopped at Mah's after to show her the pictures we took. I think Cindy had been there also, there were some other new flowers there as well, so I think they were from her.

Well that's it for now Dad, I wanted to say Happy Birthday and tell you how much I love you.

I love and miss you Forever and a day.

Dad,I want to let you know that Uncle T-Joe left this earth yesterday to come home to you and the rest of the family. Mah and I went over to see him Wednesday, and he went home on hospice Wednesday evening, he wanted to pass at home. From what I'm told he crossed over in his sleep. Please tell Grammy and Grampy the last of their children are on their way home. Watch for him Dad, he shouldn't take long to get to the gates.

I love and miss you Dad, Forever and a Day.

Hi Dad,I am stopping by to say hi and also to say sorry. I did not get on here on the 5th to wish a happy 66th anniversary to you, but in all truth, I was speechless and did not know what to say. I went to see Mah, and again, there did not know what to say. you cant say Happy Anniversary as your not here, but want to acknowledge that it is your day, but don't want to bring it up to hurt the heart more then it already is, so I just didn't know what to say this year. So I am sorry for not coming on here Thursday, but I was thinking of you and what a joyous day it was for you and Mah at one time, for 61 years..

I love you Dad, forever and a day.

Thank you Dad for shutting off the snow, that 24" we were saposto get yesterday into the night, we only got 3". so thank you for getting that shut off for us., and hope that lock box went on it. lol. My shoulders surely weren't looking forward to shoveling another 24". Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you. Please keep the key hidden for the lock box so no one tries to play any jokes. I love and miss you forever and a day.

Happy belated Valentines day Dad..

Hi Dad,Just wanted to drop by to update you on things. We have had several snow storms since I last left you a message. they said so far we have had 78.8" and its only February, we still have march and April to go for snow storms. so we have already gone past the normal ANNUAL snow total of 61.9" and have spent $25.4 million on cleanup compared to the average $15.7 million. WOW.. I don't know what's going on up there, but someone's got to turn off the snow and put a lock box on it so it cant be turned back on again. :)

As you know, I had a birthday Thursday the 5th. 29 years old........... Can you believe it.. How many people are lucky enough to turn 29 years old, 20 times... :) Ashley made me a carrot cake. she looked at the grocery store and they only make small pieces, so she make it herself, knowing that's my favorite. Azriel made me birthday coffee. my new coffee maker is a one cup so he puts the coffee k-cup in and puts the cup under it, pushes the size and then start, and the coffee comes out.... he's so proud of himself when he makes it for me.. I wanted to go see Mah, but he's been sick for over a month now, he just cant seem to shake it fully. I took him to the Dr's, they said its bronchial, and he has an ear infection. so he's on med's for it. As soon as he's better we can go over. don't want to take any chances of any colds going over there.

Anyway, I'm going to finish watching wrestling, I'm watching it while I'm writing this to you, so your kind of being part of it with me. (seeing your the one who got me hooked when I was.. I'm thinking I was about 9...lol)

I love and miss you Dad. forever and a day.

I hope you don't mind, but I check in on your dad's guest book page occasionally. When he and my mother were in the hospital together in the early 70's, you all became like family to my family and that was much appreciated. Your dad and my mom had the same birthday. She has been gone now for 41 (going on 42) years and I still miss her every day. Your dad was a good man and your mom will always be one of my favorite people. You are lucky to have her. I know how much you all love and appreciate her and how much you miss your father. Keep loving them....that's all you can do and is the most important gift of all. Merry Christmas to all of you and a special hug for Wilda!!!

December 26, 2014

Hi Dad,I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas before I went to bed.

I had Angel and Azriel for the night Christmas Eve and they woke up at my place, and we went to Ashley's in the AM. we had our tree with her and Adonis, and Azriel and I went to see Mah and have dinner with her and Marie. Mah cooked. We stayed for a while.

Last week Ashton came to Ashley's, it's the first time in a few years, it was nice to see him. He called Mah and talked to her. she sounded happy to talk to him. he's coming to Ashley's tomorrow Friday the 26th, and I'm going to go pick Mah up, and bring her over so she can see Ashton. It will be nice, that they can se each other, its been too long.

A week ago Saturday (12/13/2014) I was out Christmas shopping, and someone stole my wallet, it had all my credit cards and $500 cash. I had to cancel the cards, but no making up for the lost cash. The Freeport police called me to let me know a few days later that they had my wallet there. someone had dropped it in the mail box and the mailman brought it to them. so someone stole it in South Portland, and it was found in Freeport. 2 credit cards were missing, the rest were there. luckily I had already canceled them all, but no surprise the cash was gone. I know Mah had talked to you and prayed about my wallet being stolen and to help with it, and to show some sign. well, how to police found my phone number, where my phone is a cell phone..... it could have been just mailing it to me, through my license and mailing address, but no.. they found my GENEALOGY business cards in my wallet. now, I know you had something to do with that Dad. Thank you, and yes, with them finding the genealogy/family tree card, that was the sign and I hear it loud and clear. Thank you for being there still for me Dad, even from so far away.

I hope you could see the beautiful lights. I wasn't going to put a tree up this year, I really wasn't in the Christmas spirit. I had the little metal one I had bought you last year, I had that on the table, well, I had an App on my phone, that Azriel could call Santa, and he could call and press 1 to be added to the bad boy/girl list, press 2 to be added to the good boy/girl list, and press 3 to leave a message with name and present request... so he wanted to press , so we did, and he asked Santa for a Christmas tree.. So that changed my tree though for this year. I didn't put up the large 6 foot one though, I went out and bought a 4 foot one and put it on the end table. only Christmas ornaments on it were one at the top with al the grand kids name on it, and one Mah got us the year you left, the "Merry Christmas from heaven" Plain, but Azriel got his wish... A tree..

Anyway Dad, I'm going to go for now... I love and miss you forever and a day..

Happy Belated Turkey day Dad. Sorry I'm late. Hope you enjoyed all those delicious smells coming up to you, I had dinner with Mah. It was nice. Ashley cooked dinner for her and the boys. Portland High won the turkey game against Deering again this year.

Mah is doing well, she's healing every day and doing so well with it. The Dr's are pretty much amazed. she doesn't give herself enough credit, but she IS amazing.

We had our first snow storm Wednesday. we got about 6" . NY got a lot, they have gotten about 7 feet of snow, they've had deaths, injuries. its very sad.

I have been doing my genealogy still (big surprise ha? lol) and found some of Mah's family on Grampies side. they are her 2nd cousins. her Dads brother Joseph grand kids. I contacted them and everyone's thrilled, them and us. the 2nd cousins name is Leo, he's 88. I'm trying to go through his daughter to have him talk to Mah on the phone. I don't know his health and don't feel I should be blunt and ask, so I'm just going through her mentioning things, I know Mah would love it, she doesn't know yet that I'm trying to get it so they have communication, (secret..sshhh)

I don't remember if I told you or not, I met with this historical society in South Berwick. They are using the Pelletiers as learning tools called journey through time, for the kids in schools teaching the kids about the immigrants and the journeys from Canada to Maine and what life was like. I found that on line and when I contacted them letting them know that I was the great granddaughter of Joseph and Mah being the granddaughter, they asked if I could meet them and they wanted others to meet me as well. So David and I met with them. They were nice, unfortunately they didn't have any information to give me that I didn't already have, but I did have info for them that they were thrilled to have.I walked the bridges that Great Grampy would have walked to go to work, and made sure Mah was on the phone for the walk, I wanted her to make the journey through time with me. the first family making the walk with the intent of their memory, not just to walk over the bridge with no intent other then to get to the other side. This upcoming spring I want Mah to actually walk it with me, it would mean a lot and something I'd treasure and never forget.

I'm still searching for the final resting place of great Grammy and Grampy in St Michael's, still no luck, so as of now, we have just the cemetery, but no location IN it.

Anyway Dad. That's the update for now.

I Love and Miss you Forever and a Day.

"FOREVER AND A DAY"

I know it had to have hurt youto see Mah and us kids around your bed,just knowing that it wont be longhad to have torn at your heart and head.

I can't begin to imagine what you feltor the thought that went through your mind,as we talked and cried and said our good byesknowing that we'd all be left behind.

You were here for so long,I prayed you would never leave.I though you had a few more yearshiding up your sleeve.

The dreadfully day that you leftwas the saddest day of my life,we were there touching some part of you while you crossed over in the arms of your wife.

I know It may sound selfish but I wish that you were still here,or maybe if you could have stayedfor just another year.

I know how much you loved meand you know how much I loved you,I'm trying hard to be strong Dadbecause that's what you'd want me to do.

I know you had to let go even though you held on for so long,there's not a day I don't think of youAnd how you were so strong.

I just want to tell you Dadthat you're always in my heart,even though 4 years have gone byI know that we're never apart.

I know I'll see you again one dayand until then remember this:I love and miss you forever and a day,and I seal it with a kiss.

Hi Dad.I went to see Mah yesterday. it was her 86th birthday (I'm sure your aware of that though) . She had a busy day. Throughout the day everyone stopped by, then later in the evening, she got birthday wish's by phone. she had a good birthday. She had a beautiful cake. I'm not sure if she took a picture of it or not, but I'll ask her.

Adonis is walking now, and into EVERYTHING, He's also got his first tooth coming in, and oddly enough, Angel just lost his first tooth. The tooth fairy came. he was excited. it was really loose, he could bend it over with his tongue. I told him how you use to take your hanky and pull ours out when they were like that. I love remembering the stories from growing up.

We had some pretty major thunder storm the last week. I'm sure you had seen and heard it all. my phone was constantly going off with a warning letting me know " Severe thunderstorm warning until such and such a time". we even had 2 tornado warnings. I call Mah every time I got a warning. I told her I'm her personal weather girl.

Anyway, I'm going to get going. I need to go make Azriel Supper. I'll be over to see you soon Dad. I love and miss you forever and a day.

Hi Dad,Happy 4th of July. the fireworks have been rescheduled till Saturday the 5th due to weather, so you may have to watch them over another area tonight, but come back this way tomorrow night. I'm going to go to the house tomorrow to watch them with Mah.

We've had some pretty messed up weather as I'm sure your aware of. We had sever thunder storms Wednesday evening, hail and rain and thunder (no lightning) Friday, and tornado warnings Friday late afternoon. Today is rain. So pretty odd rain for here, but the lightning was so pretty.

it must be beautiful from your view. Someday I'll sit back and watch it with you. but then again, one day well all watch them like we use to as a family, when we use to all watch them from the back yard at the house before the trees got too tall. I love memories..

I love and miss you forever and a day Dad

Did you hear Angel and Azriel out on the deck tonight, looking up in the sky singing happy birthday to you.. It was sweet.

I hope Mah will be able to see your star from the house that I had named for you, for your Birthday. I need to figure out where it is, from the house for her. its in the constellation "Cygnus"

Hi Dad, I went to see you on Fathers day,and brought Azriel with me. We drove around looking for a pizza place because we were going to eat supper with you, but there wasn't anything near you except one grose pizza place. Azriel kept asking "where's Grampy" as he looked around, so I tried to explain to him, but a 3 year old doesn't quite get it. He asked me when he went to your military plaque, if you fell down there. it was so cute, all I did was smile and say yes, because I figured if he at least got it that you were there in the ground, and if he thought that's how you got there, I thought that was best to let him think that for now I also was telling him that his middle name is your name and that that's how he got his middle name, We spent some time with Mah too before we came over to you which was really nice. Well Dad, that's it for now. I love and miss you Dad forever and a day. (I know I didnt get to post here on Sunday, but Happy Fathers Day Dad)

Hi Dad,Well, January 24th came and went, and the WWE Network that I was SSOOO excited about, was due to take off today.... I sat on the couch, all ready... and they announced only a month away till the launch of the WWE Network. OH NO! I cant believe I did it again, I didn't hear the whole thing and got ahead of myself, its not till FEB 24th. What a bummer that was. I know, I can see you shaking your head and telling me same as always, "If you just listen you might learn something" well, maybe you were RIGHT... ssshhhh, who said that, not me, 'Ill deny it was me, maybe Suzie. LOL.. anyway Dad, guess we gotta wait another 3 weeks to check it out.

I went to a reptile show in NH on Sunday, and yes I bought a lizard, she's a Mountain Horned Dragon, she's pretty. she was very thin though, found out she was wild caught, they failed to tell me this at the show. She's extremely friendly, took her to see the vet yesterday because she hadn't eaten since I got her on Sunday, and she was looking very weak, he's got her on some special food that I have to force feed her twice a day, as well as 3ml water force feed, and give her warm soaks in the tub. so I fed her twice yesterday and fed her this morning, and then a little while later I gave her the warm bath soak, and for the heck of it, after we were done and she was dried and warm, I put her in a plastic container (no not with the lid on) and put a few wax worms in, there softer them the super worms that my other lizards eat, and she ate them, so I gave her 2 more, and she ended up eating 10. I was excited, because I really thought she was going to die. I actuary bought 2 of the dragons at the show, but the day after I bought them the girl dragon died. this one was a boy, or so we thought till the vet seen her yesterday. Their names were Brenda and Cobena after Mah's lizards she had as a kid, but Brendas is the one who died, and I like the name for this one still, so even though its a girl, her name is still Cobena. I've got her picture here for you.

So, that's my exciting updates.

I Love and Miss you Dad Forever and a Day

Hi Dad.I had to tell you. I am surprised and so excited.. Pinch me, I think I'm dreaming.., its like Santa came again. the one thing other then Genealogy I Love is Wrestling, which is all thanks to you. The WWE announced that on January 24th at 11:00 PM, that the WWE is going to be going live, on the new work (on line) 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Were going to be able to view all past and present pay per views, like Wrestlmania, including the upcoming Wrestlmania 30. and all the other PPV's. There's going to be so much that can be done with it. I can't wait. I so wish you were here, I'd bring my computer to the house to hook to the TV so we could watch wrestlemania 30 together. Mah and I think we figured out how long its been since you got me watching wrestling, If were correct, I was about 8 or 9. so its been about 38 or 39 years. I'm a WWE junkie Dad. LOL Is there WWE ring in heaven Dad so we can watch it together, like we use to when I was little? I'll let you know how it goes on the 24th.

I Llove and Miss you Forever and a Day.

Happy New Year Dad. It's hard to believe we ring in the 4th New Year without you. Even just saying that in my head doesn't sound possible. 2014 so hard to believe, where is the time going. I was home last night to watch the ball drop. I have had the 3 boys for the last 4 days/nights. Ashley is in the hospital so I have had the kids. I think I'm out of practice having a baby over night. It's been a while. but it's also nice to wake up to 3 smiling faces in the morning. Adonis has the biggest smile I've ever seen, and that's the first thing he does when you walk to his crib in the morning, That smile is better then a first cup of morning coffee.

Angel turned 6 years old today. Ashley wanted his birthday to still go on although she was in the hospital, so I did his birthday as best I could with short notice. David helped out, he's helped me with the kids, as has Raeleen. Angel had a good birthday we invited some of his friends from around the house. I did it at 4:00 so we could have it as a supper/Pizza party.

I brought Mah's tv over finally once it finally arrived. I think she was upset at first, thinking it was to replace the living room TV, but once I told her it was for the bedroom, she was okay, but im guessing you didn't get the chance to send her the vibes of no lecture about gifts, because I heard one anyway (either that or Mah being stubborn didn't listen to the vibes of no lecture.. haha)

Well Dad, I'm going to go, I need to actually get Angel off to school in the morning. I haven't had to get a kid off to school since Ashley was in school, and that was 10 or 11 years ago.

I love and miss you forever and a day .

MERRY CHRISTMAS Dad.

I know Im a day late, but Ive been waiting and hoping for the delivery of Mah's Christmas gift (the TV) so I'd have my response to tell you her reaction, but seeing that UPS has "lost" my package, they told me, Mah has not gotten it yet. I'm upset about it, she's fine with it, but I'm not. There telling me it will be here today. We will see.

I ended up going to the ER Christmas eve for the fall I had on Monday, my back, neck and hip had gotten really sore and my neck began to swell, and my arms were going numb. so it started to scare me. They did X-rays, nothing broken, they said I wrenched my neck and back, well, I could have told them that much myself. Well, at least I know its nothing major.

I had my Tree Christmas morning over Ashley with her and the boys, then home to start cooking a turkey, well, part of anyway, I decided to just cook a turkey breast this year because where none of us eat dark meat, I didn't want to throw the dark away so I just didn't buy a whole turkey this year. I had Ashley cook the rest where I was hurting, so we ate over her house. it came out good. I MADE gravy, and it actually came out good. I had my back up cans ready though.

Mah went with Marie to Melissa and Jason's, she said is was very nice. She had a nice time.

David and I went last night to see you, then over to see Mah when she got home. The boys gave her electronic dice for yatzee, its saposto remember her score, Once her tv gets here I'll bring that over to her.

I sent a text message (as I do every holiday and birthday) to wish Ashton a Merry Christmas, didn't hear back, but he knows I was thinking of him. I Miss him very much.

Veronica is going in for a triple bi pass tomorrow at 7:30AM, I told her Aunt Nona, Uncle Dana, you, her Mom and our Grandparents will all be watching over here to make sure she is safe and will be holding her in safe arms throughout the surgery. Please have everyone do their best, to keep her safe. I will be checking in with Maria to see how she's doing, and to keep Mah posted as well.

HI DADi just wanted to wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS i will be over sometime Christmas day to visit. i love and miss you.

"Thanksgiving Thoughts"

I will take this Thanksgiving dayTo turn my thoughts to you DadTo thank you for the home you gaveFor all the things we had.

I think about the treasured yearsToo quickly, gone for goodIt seems like only yesterday,I'd go back if I could.

A time when you was always there,No matter what the weather.Always strong when things went wrongyou held our lives together.

You strived so hard from day to dayAnd never once complained.With steady hands, you worked so hardAnd kept the family name.

You taught us that hard work pays off,"You reap just what you sow".you said that "If you tend your crops,Your field will overflow".

My life has been wonderfulYou taught me how to giveIn Your firm and steadfast wayyou taught me how to live.

You dwell among the angels nowYou left us much too soonYou glide across a golden fieldAbove the harvest moon.

I see you in the summer rain,You ride upon the windAnd when I'm feeling beaten downYou pick me up again.

I love and miss you Dad,Forever and a day

This is the 4th Thanksgiving that you are not hear in body, but you are here in spirit.

Hi Dad. I saw your star the night Carol went away, but I didn't know she was gone yet. It looked like a dove. I think Carol was already added to it. It is the brightest star in the sky. Walter, Marie and I are also going to Pa. Now you have 2 of your children to keep you company. Some day we will all be together again. I love and miss you very much. See you in my prayers. Cindy

Hi Dad,I'm writing to let you know, if you haven't found her already, that Carol died last night. Mah got the call early this morning. She laid down for a nap last night and never woke up. they said it was a combination between her heart and her diabetes. Mah and David are driving down for the funeral. You may already know this but incase you don't, watch for her, she'll be needing her/our Dad to meet her.

I love and miss you Dad forever and a day.

A candle to remember, may it burn ever so bright

As I look to the heavens on this very night.

Beyond the stars, my dear Dad soarsEmbraced by his Savior on heaven's shores.

As the angels protect him and sing his sweet nameI honor his life with the glow of this flame.

So I light this candle for my Dad tonightAs a symbol of my love and his eternal life.

It's so hard to believe its been 3 years since you left Dad, Some days it feels an eternity, then times like tonight, it feels like its only been moments, like we were all just there around your bed again, so fresh in my mind,.... .Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and wish you were here.

I love and miss you forever and a day Dad.

CONGRATULATIONS DAD..

Ashley just gave you a new Great Grandson tonight at 7:34PM, 7lb 13oz, 20 3/4". his name is Adonis Joseph Theriault. He carries on your /our last name, and also carries on your fathers name Joseph, and also Mah's great grandfather Joseph. He and Ashley are doing good. Ashley didn't want anyone in with her this birth, so she was in alone. so it was her and Adonis, and of course you watching over to make sure they were safe.

I wanted to share the news with you, and congratulate you on another great grandchild.

I love and miss you forever and a day.

Happy Birthday Grampy...it doesn't seem possible that its been almost 3 years since we lost you. Memories of you from childhood and beyond gather happily in my heart, at those times I never would have thought about losing you and seeing your empty chair in the living room or feeling the emptiness you left behind. Never would I have imagined that my youngest children would never have the joy of knowing you. I cherish all the photos & memories of you...until I see you again. I love you..."Happy"

Hi Dad,Ashley went to have a sonogram yesterday of the baby, they did a 4D sonogram. looks so different then when I had mine 28 years ago with her, but I wanted to share with you. As of now she's still keeping the name Adonis Joseph Theriault, but well see if it changes when she has him. I cant believe she's due for another one in less than 2 months.

I hope you had a wonderful fathers day up there with Grampy and all your other Grandfathers. Mah went to see you with Marie.

Another fathers day with out you, brings heartache of our loss, but smiles of of all our memories..

"HONOR THY FATHER"

Fathers day is today and I don't know what to say, I can't tell you to enjoy yourself or have a wonderful day.

You're no longer here on earth August 2010 you were taken away,

who'd a though in 2010 you wouldn't be here today.

Today has been so empty, you were in my every thought,

wishing you were still here with us but knowing that your not.

I will still honor your fathers day and the many you had in the past,

I wish i knew back then it was going to be your last.

You may not be here with me but I have something that will never die,

the memory of this wonderful man I call Dad who now resides in the sky.

A kiss and hug to you Dad, and all my Grampies above. this day is still your fathers day and its filled with so much love.

Dad, I love and miss you forever and a day.

HAPPY EASTER DAD. Another easter that you will not be at our table, but you will be in our hearts as you are every day. I love and miss you forever and a day.

'TWAS THE DAY BEFORE EASTER

'Twas the day before Easter..and all through the woods,The bunnies were busypacking their goods.The eggs were all coloredso pretty and bright,All things were "go"for the big, special night.The baskets were waiting,all decorated with care,In hopes that the Bunnysoon would be there. Ashton, Angel, & Azriel were all in their beds,While visions of Easter eggsrolled round in their heads.

And I in my pajamaswith the dog on my lap,I had just settled downfor a quick little nap.When outside the windowI heard a great noise,I sprang from my chairand jumped over some toys.

As quick as a flashto the window I flew,I pulled up the shadeand, OH, what a view.The moon on the pondcast a bright golden glowAnd the wind blew the flowersto and then fro.

Then all of a suddenfrom out of nowhere,Came some lively bunnies,hopping here, hopping there!Leading the groupwith ears long and funnyWas a plump, all-white rabbit... That's right...the EASTER BUNNY!

So up on each doorstepthe bunnies did hop,With baskets of eggs.(Let's hope they don't drop)!Just at that moment,on the porch down below,Came the stomping of feet'Twas the rabbit, I know!

As I stepped from my windowI heard a loud sound.Through the door came the rabbitwith a leap and a bound.He was furry and softfrom his head to his feet.To see him so closewas really quite neat.

He was surrounded by eggsthat had been carefully dyed.Easter eggs galore he soon would hide.His eyes were all twinkles,His nose was so pink,And I can't be too sure,but I think he did wink.

He had a kind faceand a big fluffy tailThat bobbed up and downlike a boat with a sail.A twitch of his noseand a flick of his earWas his way of saying,"You've nothing to fear."

He uttered no soundas he hopped all aboutHiding the eggs and leaving no doubt,That the Easter bunny had comelike he does every year...Bringing baskets of happinessto children so dear

Hi Dad,Just a short note tonight before I go to bed, to let you know, that Ashley went to the Dr's and had an ultrasound done.. and guess what she's having???? yup. your right again. I asked you in my prayers what she was having, like we all did when you were home with us. and you said as you did last time "the same as the rest" and your correct again. She's having another boy. so you have another great grandson due the end if July early August. So there is another THERIAULT to carry on our name. Very happy it's a boy. I cant believe I'm going to have 4 grandsons. I don't feel old enough to even have one, never mind 4, but then I remember I am 47 (although I don't feel it) I just don't know where the time goes, and how fast it goes by now. It went by so slow as a child, but now its like 2 years goes by for every 1. Anyway, congratulations Dad, another correct guess. I bet he'll be as handsome as the other boys are, you already know what he looks like, so if you want to, you can give me a few hints while I'm sleeping, put a hint or two in my dreams. I'm going to go lay in bed and watch tv before I fall asleep. I love and Miss you forever and a day Dad.

Hi Dad,I cant believe its already the middle of January. even harder to believe I'm going to be 47 in 3 weeks. I really don't feel any older then I did in my late 20's, I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I went to see my Neurologist (for my MS) the other day, we went over the ct scan I had a few months back, and all looked good, no new lesions in the brain, all the same, and the ones on the spine he cant find. I told Mah I feel you went in and took them out. I really feel good, no reoccurring problems with it, I truly feel blessed, because so many other people have so much more with it.. I also wanted to let you know Ashley is making you a Great Grampy again. She is due August 11th. she has had a rough start, they weren't sure if she was going loose the baby or not because she was bleeding daily, but again you had a hand in that and helped her with the little one. so another Grandbaby for me, and another great Grandbaby for you and Mah. This picture is the sonogram they had done. she hasn't had another one done yet. this was about 3 weeks ago so the little one is a lot bigger now. She went to the Dr's yesterday and heard the babies heart beat, and she said the Dr's said the heartbeat was strong. I'll keep you posted on the baby update. I love and miss you forever and a day.

Merry Christmas Dad. I went over to Ashley's this morning to have the tree with her and the boys. (We haven't seen Ashton in almost a year, so just her and the other 2 boys) it was nice. we're going to see Mah later. I went to see you last night with David. he was actually funny, but you know that. I could imagine you laughing. when he was pushing those decorative candy canes in the ground and that one wouldn't go, even after using a screw driver to make the hole, "d*** dad... I think he's pushing it back up" it was funny. Mah and Marie went up to see you the other day, but again, I'm sure you knew that already. Ashley's going to cook dinner toddy, so I get to relax. well Dad, I'm going to go, I'm giving Mah an Ipod for Christmas (Ipod is a gadget you can listen to music through with headphones and has a screen so you can also watch videos and look at pictures, kind of like the ipad thing I got her but much smaller) and I'm still working on loading it with music from the 40's and 50's and photos for her before I give it to her. oh, and "Susie" is giving her gift card, she promised I wouldn't go overboard, so I"M NOT..... hehehehe..... didn't say anything about Susie. :) The apocalypse didn't happen, I was thinking maybe we'd all be able to be spending Christmas together again, but guess not this year. We will again someday... I love and miss you Dad forever and a day.

You may not have been at our table, but you are always in our hearts.

I cooked Thanksgiving dinner this Year Dad. First time since 1996. usually I went to yours and Mahs house, and the last few years I really didn't do anything, but this year I did the whole Dinner, and while I got everything ready, I had a picture of you and Ashton and Mah sitting on my coffee maker, so you were watching me, to make sure I didn't give up and change my mind. It came out good. There was me, Ashley, the boys, and Ashley's friend.

David went to eat with Mah and Marie. Mah cooked this year. She said she needs to get the smell of Thanksgiving back in the house. She hasn't cooked Thanksgiving dinner since you left. This is the first one, David said she seemed to be okay.

I hope you enjoyed all those wonderful smells of Thanksgiving dinner going up tords the sky's from everyone cooking today.

Happy Thanksgiving Dad

Hi Dad.Just a quick not to let you know voting was yesterday, and the outcome is........... Barack Obama has been re elected for president or another 4 year. it was a happy day. It was close for a while, then it got to the point, that if Obama took Ohio he would have it, and he did, he got Ohio, and it was done, he won. so he is our president for another 4 years. :)

I'll be back soon.

HI Dad,Just want to wish you a Happy Halloween. Ashley brought Angel out trick or treating last night. She kept it local, then drove to go see Mah, on her way there, she got pulled over by the Portland police. they gave her $135.00 ticket for expired inspection sticker. she was not a happy camper, you know your granddaughter... LOL, Anyway, after telling him to have a nice Halloween she continued on to see Mah. She stayed a little while and then went to see Marie and came home. Angel didn't want to share his candy with me, his Nan, and I couldn't have any :( LOL . Mah said she got about 45 or so trick or treaters.

Mah Was coming up the caller stairs yesterday and she fell, she is ok, but she couldn't get up off the floor, so she had to work her way to the kitchen chair to get up, but she is okay.

Anyway, I wanted to wish you a happy Halloween.I love and miss you forever and a day.

HI Dad,Well, as I'm very sure you are aware, we had a hurricane down here. didn't hit Maine very bad, but unfortunately it hit NY and RI pretty severe, They started out calling it the frankinstorm because it was everything thrown in together,, rain, snow, hurricane etc. then as it got closer they called it hurricane Sandy. Marie stayed with Mah. The willow tree in my back yard, although the storm was a terrible destructive thing, the willow was so pretty just blowing how it did. How can something so horrible make something look so beautiful. I don't understand it. Anyway, just wanted to update you on that. I'm doing okay. Missing you as always though. I'll be back soon I love and miss you forever and a day.

Hi Dad, its starting to get cold weather. I'm not looking forward to it. I don't feel we had that long of a summer this year, but that's okay, there's always next summer.

I was on the phone talking to Don today and all of a sudden the whole house shook with this loud noise and my dogs started barking, I told Don, he joked and said, maybe it was an earth quake. That was the end of that talk of it. I was talking to Mah later and she asked me if I felt the earthquake............ it really was an earth quake. HERE, in MAINE, 4.6 in the scale. never knew quakes made noise. I learned something new today.

I've been in bed all day, I'm sick. David gave me his cold, I told Mah on him, tell him cover his mouth when he sneezes dad.. :)

Have you been showing Peter the ropes up there? he's been up there with you for a month now.

I went to the Dr's to have a new MRI done, where its been a year since I was diagnosed with MS. The brain MRI compared to last years shows no more lesions have grown and the ones there, have not gotten any bigger, so that's good. The lesions on my spine have appeared to have shrunk the DR said. I know you had something to do with that Dad. Thank you.

I'm going to go to bed Dad.

I love and miss you forever and a day.

Hi Dad,Yesterday was a bad day. You wont believe this, but you will see for yourself soon. Peter died yesterday. unexpectedly. he died on the surgery table from a cathiterization and they got him back 45 minutes later, but had to be put on life support and his living will says no life support, so he died little after 1PM. It doesn't seem real, just like you being gone STILL doesn't seem real. can you make sure to show him around please, he gets lost easy and cant read the cloud signs, and I'm not there to read for him.

I thought I saw your face today,in the sparkle of the morning sun.And then I heard the angel say,"Their work on earth is done."

I thought I heard your voice today,then laugh your hearty laugh.And then I heard the angel say,"There's peace dear one at last."

I thought I felt your touch today,in the breeze that rustled by.And then I heard the angel say,"The spirit never dies."

I thought I saw my broken heart,in the crescent of the moon.And then I heard the angel say,"The Lord is coming soon."

I thought that you had left me,for the stars so far above.And then I heard the angel say,"They left you with their love."

I thought that I would miss you so,and never find my way.And then I heard the angel say,"They're with you every day.""The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars,will forever be around,reminding you of the love you shared,and the peace they've finally found.

It seems like only yesterday you were holding my brand new baby girl for the first time; the last time. She's already almost two & I've had a baby boy that you never got to meet.I wish so much that they could've known you.I remember you so well, your kind eyes, your sweet smile, your loving voice & your thoughtful spirit. I think of you often, even more today.Happy birthday Grampy. Time slips by so fast.This life is but a hiccup in eternity, we mustn't take anything for granted or live in regret. I learned so much from you & have a childhood & beyond of precious memories that you helped to create, I thank you & am grateful for that. Until we meet again in our father's kingdom. Your granddaughter, Kristina

Your memory is a keepsake,from which willl never part

God has you in his arms,We have you in my heart.

We love and miss you Grampy

I love you Dad. and thank you for your part of the fight. I love and miss you, forever and a day.

Hi Dad.Just stopping by to say hi. I watched some videos of you last night that I have on my computer, I miss you so much. Mother's day is tomorrow. I'm going over to see Mah. (Well, going to try to, my truck is in the shop getting a new front end) I don't see anywhere on here the posting I sent telling you Allie had puppies. Must not have been uploaded. Well, anyway. They're getting big, they started eating dry food (made squishy with water) yesterday. The tiny one, peanut is growing finally, still small though, more than less than half the size of the other puppies. Here's a pic of them for you (I had posted one but it was with the missing post) As soon as I get my truck form the shop I'll be over to see you and bring your coffee. I love and miss you forever and a day.

Today, March 05th 2012, would have been yours and Mah's 63rd wedding anniversary.. just because you aren't here to celebrate your wedding day, doesn't mean the love you and Mah shared cant be celebrated. So Happy Anniversary Dad. I envy the love you and Mah shared for 61 years together, and I am lucky enough to have been conceived out of that love.

Hi Dad.I went out today and bought myself a new birthday present. As you know, I turned 46 yesterday (Feb 5, 2012) so here is a picture of my present for you. I came by last week to see you. David had your area all shoveled out. we have not had a lot of snow this winter., (knock on wood) its been in the 30's and 40's. I will be by later to show you my new birthday present. but until then, here's the picture of it. It's a 2001 Ford Expedition.

me, David and Mah are riding to hope Maine tomorrow to pick up a radiator for the family room, because the one there is leaking pretty bad. Mahas having all kinds of stuff done to the house, Ill find out exactly what it all is and let you know, but she said its stuff you wanted/needed done. I'm going ot go to bed now, I need to get up early.

I love and miss you Dad, Forever and a day.

Hi Dad,Merry Christmas. This is the 2nd Christmas without you here. You were here in mind and heart. I am posting this pic for you. Mah did the manger. I went to Ashley's and she had all 3 boys this year. I happy to be there, because this is the first Christmas with all 3 boys. Mah went to Teri and Mikes for dinner. I went to the house to see Mah the other day because I knew she wasn't going to be home today. I wasn't going to put a tree up, I downloaded one on my cell phone so I wasn't called a scrooge, I felt is was slapping you in the face to put one up, but Tah and teri said It was a slap in the face NOT to. So I bought a little 3 1'2 ft tree in a beautiful base, I brought it over when I went to see Mah and she helped me run the lights.... I know you were with us all in spirit today Dad, but I wish it was in sight too. I love and miss you forever and a day.

Dad,It seems that the translation web site I used to translate what I typed in English into French in my last posting did not translate what I said correctly. The English part is what I wanted to say, the translated part is not. I'm sorry for that mess up. you know what I mean to say though..

Hi Dad,I'm sure your aware, but I want to let you know what's been going on with me health wise. last I posted, I wasn't ready to talk about it. I still cry when I do, so I find myself having to make "lite" of it so I don't cry. I went to the ER October 14, 2011, because I had double vision for 3 days and a massive headache. they did a MRI and said they saw something that concerned them, so they did a cat scan. They sent me to a neurologist and after viewing the cat scan they diagnosed me with MS (Multiple sclerosis). They found lesions on my brain. They scheduled a second cat scan, and found more lesions on my spine, then they scheduled a spinal tap, that went okay, except for the side effect of that which is a migraine, I didn't know about the side effects, they never told me about it. For the first day after I was ok, then the migraine hit on the second day and lasted 3 days, it was so bad I begged you to come get me but you didn't. I'm okay now, I get daily headaches, but there not bad enough to keep me bedridden like the side effect headache did, I've had headaches for quite a while now, now I know why. They do not know how long I have had this, or what type/stage yet. I will let you know more when I find out. I'm sorry for not telling you sooner, but I was and still am having a hard time excepting it.

I love and miss you forever and a day Dad.

Hi Dad,

Another Thanksgiving without you hereI celebrate but not without tears.

I went to Ashley's for dinner, I had to promise Mah I would not go spend the day at the grave like last year.

Mah went to Cindy's, she went up on Wednesday, and spent the night and I tod her not to rush dinner when she mentioned coming home thanksgiving night or in the morning Friday, no sense in rushing through dinner and everyone feeling rushed, I'm sure Cindy enjoyed it too. I wish you were here, but like Mah said, YOU are not at the grave, your with us all.

I so miss you Dad.

I love and Miss you forever and a day.

Father Honey.

It has been a year since God took you from us. I feel heaven can't be far, as I feel you near.You come to mind throughout the day when I do alone the things we shared. I just have to close my eyes and feel you are there.I know we didn't need words but want to say it anyway. You willingly gave love, guidance, advise, time, laughter, a gentle hand and so much more and I thank you. I have been blessed and am honored to have had you as my Dad and my friend.God did good when He made us family. I miss you immensely and will love you forever.

Ma has been counting the days sence you left and for the past two weeks she has been counting down the days to the one year mark, she really misses you allot. i plan to come and visit today i think Ma may come with me but im not sure,i am going to bring a chair for her just incase she does and if she does i hope you can talk to her she needs you to talk to her. if she comes i will leave the two of you alone for a little bit so the two of you can talk, i know for me talking to you out loud instead of in my thoughts seems to help even though it hurts, it helps. I wont keep you any longer i will see you later i love and miss you always. David

Hi Dad,Just a little short note to let you know, so far no damage from hurricane Irene. power went off 3 times but did not stay off. Up North there were more powers outages, and there talking it being down for a week or more, Cindy lost power, not sure if Tommy did. I did not go to Buxton this weekend, I wanted to be near family this weekend, tomorrow will be a year ago you were taken from us. so I wanted to stay home. I was taking pictures of the willow tree out back swaying in the wind. it was so pretty to see. I did video of it too, it just kind of captures your attention, its just so free, swaying in so many different directions.Marie stayed with Mah last night. David and I went over last night, he took down the flag, and wind chimes, prepared for the hurricane, and mowed the lawn. I loaded more pictures and videos onto Mah's e-reader tablet. I'm going over to be with Mah tomorrow, as is David, I'm sure others will be too, but don't know who. I'm going to get ready for bed, I will write again tomorrow Dad.

I love and miss you forever and a day.

Hi Dad,I wanted to share with you some news that we all have been waiting for since well before you left. Ashton is now allowed to go to Ashley's house for visits, someone brings him over for an hour twice a week, and then brings him home. It's only an hour, but its a start. he came over the first time Monday which is the picture I'm adding here for you, its the first picture of Ashley with all her babies. Ashton was so happy, he didn't want to leave. He came again yesterday for the other hour visit and he and Angel colored some strapping that I'm going to use in their bedroom as like trim/chair rail, them coloring it makes it more personal for them. I'll show you a picture of the bedroom when its all done, David and I have been working on painting their bedroom (Ashton chose he wanted red for paint on the walls) The next few days are going to be very hard. The one year of your "leaving" is Monday. I'm not going to Buxton this weekend, I want to make sure I'm around for Mah. I will be over Monday to see you Dad.

I love and Miss you forever and a day.

Hi Dad,I finally made a label for the pickles. I needed to come up with a name for them, and wanted to share it. These pickles have been in my life ALL my life, so they are part of the family history, so the pickles are "Theriault's Legacy - Old fashion, mustard pickles" I like the name. Anyway, I'm going to Dons this weekend, so hopefully will get a bunch more cucumbers since I picked them last weekend.

I love and miss you forever and a day.

Hi Dad,I wanted to show you the Vegetable garden Don and I did at his house. It is HUGE. 30 X 20 and it grew like crazy. Don and I picked what was ready over the weekend. picked cucumbers, green beans, Zucchini, a few tomatoes, butternut squash. still got watermelon, cantaloupe and Giant pumpkins (those are more for his son) but those are not ready yet. Today I made 8 qts of the mustard pickles, and tried something new this time, I picked Zucchini. Not sure how that will be but "never know unless you try" could be a new Theriault family recipe. :) I did them up like the mustard pickles. Anyway, I wanted to share with you, I was excited to see how big the garden had gotten when I got to Buxton Friday.Just in a matter of a week, and he's been picking it daily.. The Zucchini, some had been buried in the middle of the garden and no one had seen it because the leaves are so deep, that when we found it, it was 17". I've never seen a Zucchini that large.

I love and miss you forever and a day.

Happy 4th of July Dad. your not here to see the beautiful lights this year, but this year, you have the best view possible. I bet they were beautiful from your end. they were from this end. I was remembering the times growing up when we all watched them from the back yard. The family sitting out there, with watermelon and sparkelers and firecrackers. How I wish somedays I could go back to those times of being a little girl again. As the years went by the trees covered our views, so we moved it to out front, but I'll always remember those years in the back yard, They may not have meant a lot to me as a child, but as an adult, I treasure them. I Would loved to have had you here for them. but well watch them together again someday.

I love and miss you forever and a day.

Hi Dad,Yesterday was Mothers day. Mah had a house full, she was tired by the end of the night. I got her an E-reader (means electronic reader its like my small computer but the size of a regular book, and thin ) she's been doing a lot of book reading, but her shoulders hurt a lot holding the books as you know, and this E reader can store thousands of books, and barely weighs anything she doesn't have to run pages, she just clicks the button and it goes to the next page. so we're getting her "up to the times". haha. Your birthday is next month, I'm going to see if Mah wants to go see you, I can bring her, but then again, any of us kids would being her. I'm going to see you anyway, so she can catch a ride. The furnace man had to come to you and Mahs house, something to do with the motor had to be replaced. I don't know, I'm sure when David comes here he can explain to you what had to be done. I'm watching the 2 little ones tonight while Ashley goes to see Ashton, so I'm going to go for now,. here is a new picture of Azriel, hes getting so big. He'll be 4 months the end of this month.

I love and miss you Dad, forever and a day.

Hi Dad.I went to yours and Ma'hs house for dinner today with Ashley, Angel, Azriel and Marie was there. it was very nice, would have been nicer had you been there in person, but you were there in spirit, and by the way, Yes Ashley and I DID see that stuffing cover flip from flat to its side where you sit. we just both at the same time, looked at each other and said "did you see that" we knew you were there, but that proved you were. Here is a picture I took for you.

HI DadIt's Easter Sunday. Your not here, It's still so hard without you, and still doesn't feel real.. The last 2 days have been hard. yesterday while driving I broke down crying, and today again, but just while watching tv. It hits when ever it wants. When will it get easier Dad? It hurts so much. it feels like someone's squeezing my heart as hard as they can.

I'm taking Ashley and the kids to you and Mah's house for Easter dinner, then I'm going to drop them off home then come see you. I was going to spend the day there with you, but Mah's dinner plans changed, she was going to go to Teri's but Teri is sick, so Mah is going to cook, nothing big she said, so Im sorry I wont be there all day with you but I will be there after dinner. I'll bring you a coffee. I love you and miss you forever and Day. Happy Easter Dad.

This poem was not written my me, but it was so beautiful I had to share it with you. I don't know who wrote it, but it is beautiful.

From the garden of Gethsemane Where Jesus knelt to prayTo the betrayal done by JudasOn that grim and fatal day.

From the mighty hands of PilateWho preferred to let Him beTo the noble priests and leadersWho refused to set Him free.

From the crown of thorns upon His headAnd lash marks from a strapTo the weight of such a heavy crossStrapped there upon His back.

From the thief who hung beside HimCrying, "Lord, remember me"To the gentle words of Jesus"Today, you'll be with me."

From the darkness of the noon timeAs He died upon the crossTo the earth that shook and trembledIn response to such a loss.

From the cheering cries of soldiersAs they took His body downTo the caring hands of JosephA follower new in town.

From the tomb where He was laid to restIn linen cloth of whiteTo the guards who had to stand close byThroughout both day and night.

From the stone that blocked the entranceAs it gently rolled awayTo the miracle that happened On that third and final day.

From the baffled look of soldiersAs they peered into the roomTo the startled face of MaryWhen she found an empty tomb.

From the frightened look of MaryAs she swiftly left that placeTo the light that flowed from JesusWhen she saw Him face to face.

From the doubt of His disciplesWhen she spoke of resurrectionTo the fear upon their facesAs He walked in their direction.

From the written word of scriptureThat was told in prophecyTo the eleven who had gatheredOn a hill in Galilee.

From the words that had been spokenBefore He went awayTo His ascension into heavenWhere He lives this very day.

From the Bible on the mantelTis the words you need to heedTo find wisdom in its pagesAnd a light to sow a seed.

From the death and resurrectionOf the One we hold so dearTo the coming of His SpiritNow that Easter time is here.

From the colored eggs and candyAnd an orchid trimmed in blueTo the truth found there in scriptureChrist Jesus died for you.

Hi Dad.As you know, the weather is finally getting a little warmer. summer will be here in no time. Easter is in 2 weeks. I don't know what Mah is doing yet, no ones talked about the holiday. I may come sit with you again like at thanksgiving. I'm going to go see Mah tomorrow, and I'll come by 'your place" after with coffee, black one sugar, last week I forgot your sugar in it, sorry. I put up some Easter decorations for you and Leeann last week, its been windy so not sure if there still there, but I'll check.

I love and miss you forever and day Dad

Hi Dad,I went outside tonight and took some pictures of the moon, they call it the "Perigee moon/Super moon" Its 14% bigger than normal, and fifty thousand kilometers closer to the Earth, it hasn't been like this since 1993. As I was walking back inside I was thinking of posting a picture I took of it here for you, and it dawned on me, you've go a better view than any of us. It's beautiful.

I love and miss you Dad Forever and Day

Hi Dad,I'm stopping by to let you know I made it. Saturday the 12th of March was one year ago that I quit smoking. I think what helped me in the last 6 1/2 months was you. When you were in the hospital and we got talking about smoking, and you asked how long its been since I had quit, at that time is was 5 months, you said you were proud of me. Every time I wanted a cigarette I heard your words. the hardest time was while you were sick and when you left, but like I said, I could hear your words and your voice.. Thank you for those words and your help keeping me straight.

I love and miss you Dad, forever and a day.

Hi Dad,I just wanted to let you know that after a long 14 month wait, Ashley was finally able to see Ashton tonight. she said he kept saying " I love you so much mama" she gets to see him again next week and she can bring Angel, so Ashton can see Angel. it was so good she could finally see him. this pic was of tonight. They look so happy.

On Thursday I fell down the stairs. hurt my back (its okay now) and by butt got a big ol bruise. go figure, me and stairs never have been friends, I was reminding Mah how when I was younger I'd ALWAYS fall down the stairs, you'd come pick me up at the bottom of the stairs while Mah went to get a foot pan of water to soak my ankle in. so stairs have bitten me since I was small. the older I get the more the bites hurt. :( hahaha

I love and miss you Dad forever and a day.

Hi Dad,I just called Mah and now I have to let you know, I Just got the results of my mamorgram. it's Normal.. and they said I can go back to yearly mamorgams instead of every 6 months, since nothing has grown back in the last year and a half so back to yearly. THANK YOU GOD. and Thank you Dad, because your still taking care of your baby girl, even from way up there. (yes I thought the results were going to NOT be normal)

I Love and Miss you Forever and a day

Happy Valentines Day Dad. I love you.

Ashley went to a meeting today about Ashley seeing Ashton. She's going to be able to see him March 7th,(2 days after your and Mah's 62nd anniversary) first time in will be 14 months.. I'm sure you had a hand in that, hence the date. XO for that. Thank you.

Azriel is doing good, he turned over from his belly to his back already, and he just turned 2 weeks old Friday. He's got your smarts Dad. Carol said she can never remember his name so she's going to just call him Henry. I like that.

Angels doing good too, he's been a good little big brother to Azriel.

I spent the weekend at Dons, it was very nice, just he and I Friday and Saturday, and his son came on Sunday. Don got me a calla lily, and his son got me a small bouquet of baby red and white roses for valentines day. It was a nice weekend, not often we get them with just he and I.

David got a vehicle, but I'll let him tell you all about it.

Well, wrestings going to be coming on, so I'm going to go watch it, and I'm sure you'll be sitting right here with me watching it.

I love and miss you dad, Forever and a day.

Hi Dad,I wanted to give you a pic from the hospital from Azriels birth. He's a really good baby. and he's getting cuter every day. Angels being a good little big brother to him. Ashton will met him hopefully soon. Ashley's doing good.

Davids truck is shot, failed a sticker and way too much to fix it, so he's looking for another vehicle.

Mah went in for her procedure to stop the bleeding in her intestins, all went well. I guess now its a matter wait and see to see if they got all the bleeds.

Michael's mom passed the other day.

Scott just deployed for a year yesterday, he was home with the girls and Samantha for a little bit.

Kristina's going to make you a great grandfather again in June 2011.I didn't do really anything on my birthday Saturday, turning 45 seems to not be settlings right with me. I went to Buxton and spent the weekend at Dons, got birthday breakfast in bed, coffee, OJ, bacon, scrambled eggs and croissant. He made me lunch, and out to supper. yes I'm still with him Dad, hehe.. I can hear you now. It's been almost a year now, I'm so happy he got to meet you and you meet him.

Well Dad, that's the scoop for now.

I love and miss you Dad, forever and a day.XOXO

Hi Dad,I brought Mah up to the hospital yesterday to see Ashley and Azriel. You could see happy in her face, but you could also see in some picts with sadness on her face, and I know what she was thinking, she was thinking of you, She watchs your DVD from your going away gathering several times a day, she so missses you Dad. Azriel is beautiful, his pictures do not do him justice. he seems to be such a lil peanut, but is the biggest of all 3 of the boys. I have one picture of Azriel clinging on to Mah's pinky, its precious, I'll post that separate here for you. Here is a happy pic of Mah and Azriel for you. I love and miss you Dad forever and a day.

Hi Dad,As you know, Ashley had the baby finally, it was a long labor, but not painful, thank you for helping with that. He is 6 lbs 15 oz / 20.5 " long / 12:59 AM/ his name Azriel Henry Theriault. Thank you for watching over them Dad and making Ashley's delivery easier for her. Azriel is beautiful , he will know from Day one all about his great Grampy and the wonderful man who he carries the name for. I so wish you were here. The hat he has on, Ashley's Dr knitted for Azriel.. I miss and love you Dad forever and a day.

They finally induced Ashley abut 3:30PM 1/27/2011, they said the baby should be here about 5:30/6:00 PM ish. I'm going to go see him and Ashley after she has him, but will give you picture as soon as I come home. (you already know whats going on because your there with them, but I wanted to tell you too.) I love and miss you forever and a day.

Hi Dad.Ashley's going in to have the baby tomorrow. You were saposto be here to see your new great grandson, you SHOULD be here. I'll ask Mah when I go up to see the baby if she wants to ride up with me to see him. You'll see him before any of us do. I told Ashley you'de watch over her and the baby where I cant be there, I'll be home watching Angel. I will give you a picture as soon as I get on Dad. He will have your name.. Azriel Henry Theriault, I hope you approve. This picture of Ash was taken tonight, the night before she goes in to have Azriel. I wish you were here, not just for this, but because we all want you home and miss you so much. I'm waiting for the day it gets easier that your not here like everyone says will come, I don't believe them, it hasn't come yet, almost 5 months later. OMG, 5 months you've been gone. It feels like yesterday, the hurt is like it was yesterday. Anyway, I came to tell you about Ash going in to have the baby, I don't want to keep crying, I'm trying to be happy because I'm going to be a grammy again, but having a hard time seperating the happy and the sad. Such mixed feelings (Angel seen me crying while typing this and he came over and pat me on the head) the joy of grand kids. you AND Ashton SHOULD be here. both of the most important men in my life and neither of you are here, and nothing I can do to change it. I love and miss you Dad, forever and a day.

WOW long time. anyway everything here is going as expected except for the girls but im sure you know all about that.well just wanted to say I MISS YOU SO MUCH,it really doesnt get easier with time i still miss you every day every time i think about something and say to myself i got to ask Dad how to do that or i get ready to call you to ask the same question i had asked a hundred other times. I MISS YOU AND I ALWAYS WILL.LIKE MY LOVE FOR YOU......ITS GOING TO BE THERE FOREVER AND WILL NEVER DIE. I LOVE YOU DAD. talk to you later. David

Hi Dad,it's Wednesday. snowing really bad here, we've got about 7 inch's in 3 hours so far. (pic of right now) I walked outside to move my truck and the snow was over my boots. I had to push my screen door open to move snow as it was blocking the door from opening normally. I'm sure your Christmas tree there is covered in snow. I'll bring it home and put it with your other decorations to use next year. (if I can get it out of the ground) The Dr told Ashley he's going to induce her in 15 days.. So she will be having Azriel this month, I think he's going to be a big boy. we've taken bets, I say 7.9 lbs 21", Mah says 7.1lbs 20" , Ashley says 7.3 19". you already got it right before you left, when she asked you what she was having girl/boy. you said same as the rest, and you were right about that as use as you've always been when asked that. same as the others, so now she's going to have 3 boys. she went to court, and she's going to be able to start seeing Ashton starting immediately. I was so hoping you'd still be here when that happened, and so we could bring him to see you and Mah. he's been gone a year Jan 8th. I miss you dad, and love you forever and a day.

Happy new Year Dad. Didnt do any celebrating last night. We all did call Mah at midnight as every year, but its not the same and never will be again. I wish I could have said it to you both (I did but in different ways than the past years) I miss you with all my heart. We have to be thankful that we still have Mah, and we were lucky enough to have you all those years, although cut too short.. I love and miss you forever and a day.

Merry Christmas Dad. I love you and miss you so much. It just didnt feel like christmas without you. Our first christmas without you. You could see the hurt in Mah's eyes without you. she put the tree up about a week ago, much later then you both did it, but I understand why, I was the same way, I didnt plan on putting one up. David cooked Dinner and Mah went there for Christmas dinner. (and you were with us all in spirit) Mah made this memorial for you, this is a picture of it. She said it was everything you had in your pocket when you left. and she found some really cute mint candle/lights, because you loved your mints. she left you a lit one today on your stone. I wonder if its still lit, she said it runs around 20 hours on one battery. I may go over to see while its still dark out, sun should be up in about 5 hours. I love and miss you Dad, forever and a day....

"FOREVER AND A DAY"

I know it had to have hurt youto see Mah and us kids surround your bed,just knowing that it wont be longhad to have torn at your heart and head.

I can't begin to imagine what you feltor the thought that went through your mind,as we talked and cried and said our good byesknowing we'd all be left behind.

You were here for so long,I prayed you would never leave.I though you had a few more yearshiding up your sleeve.

The dredfull day that you leftwas the saddest day of my life,we were there touching a part of you while you crossed over in the arms of your wife.

It may sound selfish of mebut I wish that you were still here,or maybe if you could have stayedfor at least one more year.

I know how much you loved meand how much I loved you,so I'm trying to be strong Dadbecause that's what you'd want me to do.

I know you had to let go even though you held on for so long,there's not a day I don't think of youAnd how you were so strong.

I just want to tell you that you're always in my heart,even though I still cry everydayI know that we're never apart.

I know I'll see you again one dayand until then remember this:I love and miss you forever and a day,and I seal it with a kiss.

I love you Dad, forever and a day

It wasn't the same on Thanksgiving Dad, I didn't want you to be alone on thanksgiving, I know it wasn't the same but I got to spend it with you. I just wish it was with YOU and not just at your graveside. it was cold out and you know me, I forgot my jacket, but I did have a sweatshirt on, and had my coffee and a blanket to sit on, so I was ok. I did have to leave after my toes went numb, the first hour it was cold and the wind was blowing, but the wind wasn't touching me, it was going around me. Thank you for blocking it from me. and I wasn't overly cold, but after the 2nd hour it started to get cold, so I couldn't stay the whole afternoon like I wanted to, I stayed as long as I could. I put one sugar in your coffee, David said he thought that's how you had it, I thought it was just black..so if it was wrong, its his fault. :) Mah went to Tommy and Ann's for dinner. David worked on the roof of the house for you and Mah. We seemed to not know what to do without you, so we did what we felt was best for us and how to deal with your not being here.

Dad I love you and miss you forever and a day.

Hi DadWeather is getting colder now, sweat- shirt weather. bbrrr You were on my mind so much this past weekend. I watched a war movie an old black and white, the husband was away fighting the war and the wife was behind waiting for her husband to return. her pain she felt not being able to talk to him, see him, and the not knowing IF he would come home, nothing till it was over, made me wonder if that's how Mah felt with you away in the military. with those thoughts got me crying. big surprise, knowing you and Mah had gone through the same, it was a really good movie,but sad. (and yes he did come home to her, like you did) I'm gonna try to find the name of it, it was on late night, but I'd like to se if I can get a copy of the movie.

I miss you as high as the sky as deep as the sea.I love you dad, forever and a day

Hi Dad,me again, your favorite daughter #4. haha. Ive had a rough weekend and monday, had too much time on my hands and my mind was going in every direction possible. It rained real bad last night, over 40,000 without power, bad winds. (wind was so strong it blew apart the kids playhouse here that was held together with sheet rock screws, and also blew the cover over my motorcycle, I mean OVER it, the bike went through the cover. Looks like I need to get a new cover or get the bike in the shed for the winter. Sunday I went over to yours and Mah's house. David was there putting the gutters together for you. He got up the front and the driveway side, he has the other side left, I helped David put the gutters up. well, I don't know what you'd call it, he put them up, I held them, big woopie ha? anyway, I helped regardless. it was COLD. this picture on this note was the sunset after David was done, like he said, its like you were giving your approval, it was so red yours and Mah's bedroom was all lit up red. You'd be proud of him Dad,, he's getting all the things done you wanted done, and right there for Mah when she needs him, but I'm sure you can see that. Stacy had her baby, it was a boy, 9 lbs 15 oz 21" long , red hair. name is Byron Frederick. It's Monday, I'm watching wrestling (Monday night raw), yes I know your watching it too, I'll share my bowl of ice cream with you, but leave me some. haha, well, lets get back to watching WWE. I love you dad, and miss you so much my heart hurts. love you forever and a day. XOXO

Dad, its me your favoritest daughter number # 4... I miss you dad, they say time heals all wounds, but I don't think there's enough time in MY lifetime to heal this wound of loosing you. It still hurts like it was yesterday. The nights I'm home and not in Buxton are hard, being in buxton keeps my mind buisy, being home, alone, all I have to do is think, so I try to stay buisy, if I stop moving or doing something all of a sudden I break down. its like I've been crying inside all day and it spills out at night.

I knew growing up as a child, through adulthood that the day would come someday that you would leave and move with Leeann, but I always tried to ignore that thought and in MY mind make it not be so, not my parents, they'll be around till after I die. This is what I kept saying to myself even as an adult, because I couldn't stand the thought of loosing you or Mah. the times that it did cross my mind as a reality, never did I even imagine THIS PAIN and emptiness I feel.

I went to see you the other night, I brought your halloween pumpkins, it was pitch black out at the cemetery , I lit the 2 pumpkins and I just sat with you in the dark, and I wasn't afraid because you were there with me, not that I'm afraid of the dark as you know, but to be in a cemetery at night, alone normally would give me the willies, but I was okay. I miss you more than I can say,

As you know Mah came to see you the other day with Carol and Bert, David met her there, I can hear you laughing at her while she's yelling "where are you Archie", when she couldn't find you. shes gotta remember which section..I kinda wish I had gone, that would have been a good laugh with you. Mah is being so strong and I don't understand how she's holding up, other than you helping her.

I watched wrestling monday, I still like it, but its lost something, I liked it when something big was happening and I called the house and mah answered and id tell her to tell you who was fighting and what was happening. I cant do that now, and a few times ive caught myself reaching for the phone. Now when I watch it,I just say to myself... WWE for my daddy and me. so you watch with me.

well, I'm going to try to go get some sleep, I love and miss you forever and a day Dad.

I'll be over to see Mah and you later this week.. XO

I LOVE YOU DAD, as high as the sky and as deep as the sea.

HI DAD, I have been missing you a lot lately, I cant seem to get you off my mind. I wonder why, but I know the answer, I think its just that I dont want it to be, it hurts to bad..God has always granted my prayers but I cant find it in me to ask him to bring you back to us,you were sick for so long and I cant forgive myself as it is, I could never ask him to return you to us like that.you are where you belong and you have shown me that, but this hurt just doesnt go away.I thank God for all the time we did have together but you are in his arms where you will never be in pain ever again. "DEAR GOD,PLEASE TAKE CARE OF MY FATHER, HE IS A VERY SPECIAL MAN AND HE IS LOVED AND MISSED SO DEEPLY,PLEASE GIVE ME THE COURAGE TO GO ON AND BE THE MAN HE WOULD HAVE WANTED ME TO BE AND DO THE THINGS HE WANTED DONE LET HIS HAND GUIDE MINE AS I DO HIS WILL AND YOURS.AMEN" LEEANN, DAD IS IN YOUR HANDS NOW AND FOREVER PLEASE WATCH OVER HIM AND COMFORT HIM.... here is a little something I found on youtube I hope will bring a little comfort to others as it has to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMxwfX8XUXo&feature=related also Eric Claptons song "tears in heaven" about his little girl that died this also brings me some comfort. I LOVE YOU and as it says on the movie Men of Honor...A.S.N.F. "I NEVER WILL"

Grampy,I went to yours and Grammies house Sunday with Nan and you weren't there. Nan explained to me that you are up in heaven on the star with Malease and your taking care of her. She brought me to where you are sleeping. it was pretty, and I cleared a spot on the ground and yelled hi Grampy, I hope you heard me. I also picked you some apples, and I dug a small spot and blew a flower in the spot and covered it over. Did you get it? we walked around to say hi to the other family and then Nan said it was time to say bye, so I dug the spot again and yelled bye Grampy, did you hear me?

I love you and miss you and Nan does too.

Hi Dad, it been one of thoe days today,Ive been missing you and wondering, what if? i know that nothing could change and that you are probably in a better place but truthfully sometimes you just have to wonder how can there be a better place than being with your family? i know thats selfish and i wouldnt want you back to suffer,God know how you have suffered over the past years, but to have you here with us,healthy, it would be a dream come true i have accomplished so little in my lifetime for you to see i hope some day i can do more with my life and you can be proud of me for my accomplishments. i will always hold you in my heart for forever and a day you are missed daily and will always be....I LOVE YOU..

I miss you so much, its not the same talking to you in my mind i know you are there for me when ever i need you but not talking to you in person hurts so much.I am greatfull for the time we had i wouldnt trade them for the world the bond we have could never be be something you could buy its something that only closeness ans sharing and caring can create and i thank you for that you have been a TERRIFIC FATHER AND FRIEND, i thank you for all the talks and the time your sensitivity and stern ways as well you and Ma are the reason i am the man i have become i thank you for everything and i look forward to you helping me one day to build my house, i know when it is time build you will guide my hand with every stroke of the saw and with every nail i drive. until we meet again in my dreams or in Heaven i look forward to seeing you. I hold your love deep down in my heart where nothing can ever hurt it, I LOVE YOU DAD, love your son, David

All your kids & Grandkids

You were always there to support and care,When we needed a true friend,How we’ll ever do without our dad,We cannot comprehend.

You were our teacher and our guide,Our dad, so good and strong;Your example will sustain us now,And last our whole lives long.

We’re trying to communicate;We hope that you can hear;Expressing what we feel for you,Helps us feel you’re near.

Our memories of the times we hadHelp the pain to go away.But Dad, our lives won’t be the same; We’ll miss you every day.

A part of us went with you;You left a gap too big to fill;You’re our father and our hero;We love you and we always will.

Had a rough night last night Dad. Couldnt get you off my mind and seemed like the tears wouldnt end. I slept with your pillowcase last night. the morning hasn't been any easier, so I'm going to the shop to keep my mind occupied. I spent the night with mah Monday night and climbed in bed with her, I hope it was okay I slept on your side. I needed that. Mah got to talk to Ashton too, I love you and miss you Dad as high as the sky and as deep as the sea.

Dad, we miss you so much it hurts. there isn't a day i don't think about you. i know some day these feelings will subside but for know i feel lost without you.I can only imagine how Ma feels and for you to go because of such a minor detail, your heart was strong you never gave up, never. no matter how much pain you were in or how many times doctors didn't think you would make it you always beat the odds you always pushed through.. i will always miss you and love you i will miss your smile and words of wisdom you always could bring a smile to my face in troubled times with words or encouragement, just your presence brightened my life and my day no matter what was going on in your own life you always had time to talk to us and help us on our way. Dad i miss you today, I miss you tomorrow I will miss you always, but one thing i will never do is forget, I will never forget you. I LOVE YOU FOR ETERNITY AND A DAY....

God looked around his garden,And saw an empty space.He looked down from Heaven,And saw your smiling face.He put his arms around you,And whispered, “Come to rest.”His garden must be beautiful,He picks only the very best.It broke our hearts to lose you,But you did not go alone.A part of us went with you,The day God called you home.Our thoughts are always with you,A million times we’ve cried.And if our love could have saved you,You never would have died.

I love you Dad Forever and a day .... as high as they sky and as deep as the sea.

Leighsa, I just heard the news, I am so sorry. I love your parents and they were a big part of my childhood. I always felt they were my second parents, your dad was great and funny, my memory I have of him the most was when your mom used to tell him he could only have a little ice cream and we would be out in the kitchen and he would be out in the kitchen getting his icecream and he would say OK, and then he would stick some cookies under his icecream and look at us and say shhh, dont tell. That memory always stuck with me :) I cant even understand how you are feeling so I wont tell you I do, but I send you all my love and prayers and I wish I could be there to give my sissy a hug :( , even though we have not seen each other in a looong time. You and your family are and always will be a big part of my life. Tell everyone in your family that my thoughts are with them. I know your family is a close loved family and you are blessed to have eachother at this time. I love you all and heaven has received another angel that does not need to be shown the way. I love you sissy.

Grampy,There is so much I could say on here. The times I enjoyed having with you and even the hard times we went through. But most of those memories and feelings I'll keep between me and you, Because then that makes me feel like I have a piece of you still with me. I know you will always be there but there will be moments that it won't feel real that you're gone, it feels like your still by my side. My grieving over you doesn't seem right and it may never feel right. I will stay strong for my dad he WILL NOT let go of feelings in front of us girls. I wish he would and I want you to know my dad is going to be okay. I'm trying so hard to stay strong for gram and the family and only try to let go of feelings on my own time. You were my only grampy, and my only grandfather left. I can't come to reality that you're gone and don't think I can bring myself to believe it.I love you Grampy no matter where you are...Your Grand-daughter Mariah Watch over the family for all of us. I love you grampy with my whole heart.

Hi Dad, Stephen and Shannons wedding was today. it was ok, but it wasnt the same without you there. i miss you so much, it just doesnt seem real. we all feel you should be here with us, but we wouldnt want you to be here as you were you were in to much pain for far to long and it would be selfish for us to wish you back. after all you are in a much better place even though we are not with you there. you are there with grammy and grampy and most importantly LeeAnn. and she deserves to have you to after all she has waited for 42 years to be with you plus i dont expect i will have to wait 42 years to see you again...until i see you again i will have to look for you in my dreams.....i love and miss you so much. i love you. love David

God saw you getting tiredand a cure was not to beso he put his arms around youand whispered,Come to Me.

With tearful eyes we watch youand saw you pass awayand although we loved you dearlywe could not make you stay.

A Golden heart stopped beatinghard working hands at rest.God broke our hearts to prove ushe only takes the best

Dad, we will go on, not because we are strong or don't care, but because of you.You and Ma have instilled love,patience caring,understanding,family values and most importantly a sense of God and a higher power. i know there is a God and a Heaven because of what you have tought me over the years and in those teachings i have the faith and love of God to believe that he has accepted you into Heaven and are seated at the table with him and with the rest of our depared relatives . what a reunion it will be, i wish you a safe journey may the angels that come to get you be gentle and swift for you are a very special person your are my father you are my friend you are my everything, we will go on with a sadness that will someday subside but will allways have a presence in our heart. you will never be forgotten. until we meet again at the gates of heaven you will be forever in my heart and in my every thought. I Love you Dad. Love your son, David

Dad, I will miss you in so many ways. I will miss your gentle touch, your soft voice, your unconditional love. You are a big part of my heart that for now is broken. With time and your memories I will heal and this ache will lessen but never leave. I will miss the good night sweetheart you would say before we would hung up the phone. You will be with me forever.Good night dad,I love you,Cindy

You may have thought I didn't see,Or that I hadn't heard,Life lessons that you taught to me,But I got every word.

Perhaps you thought I missed it all,And that we'd grow apart,But Dad, I picked up everything,It's written on my heart.

Without you, Dad, I wouldn't beThe woman I am today;You built a strong foundationNo one can take away.

Dad you are so loved and will be so very much missed, but I know it was time for Leeann to have her daddy too, Ive been blessed to have you for 44 years, Leeann had you for 2 days, I never have been good at sharing, but I know I need to. I will love you till I take my final breath and when that happens, I'll be coming home too. I love you Dad, as high as the sky and as deep as the sea.
